Hitting month 2 !
Hi Readers,
Im finishing up month 2 now of Accutane! As mentioned in my previous post ive had a few side affects. I would say that right now my side affects aren't so bad ! of course i still have dry skin but my face isn't as dry anymore however my dry lips are the worse symptom I have! So, not so bad i guess ! Starting Accutane I had bad chest pain which went away ! I also had hair loss which was scary but that stopped too! I use a moisturizing shampoo and conditionner! Now I have hip pain once in a while but nothing too bad! Joint pain is normal !Now, for my acne my back is 60 to 70% clearer no joke!!! Also, my face is practically all cleared up as well. However, when im approaching my week I get a few pimples here and there!

Hi, I wanted to share my experience with accutane...
Hi,
I wanted to share my experience with accutane since I believe many of you will be able to relate.
First, lets start by saying that I was very scared to start accutane. My dad took it when he was young and said he got depressed. I wouldn't be 100% sure it's the pill that is fully responsible for that but I don't know. I thought about it for quite some time before taking the pill of course! but finally wanted to give it a try after trying so many other things.
I have acne on my face, back, shoulders and chest area. My dermatologists said my acne is most probably genetics. Acne has played a very important role on my self-confidence. Ive had low confidence for what seems forever now. I was so embarrassed to wear anything that showed my skin. So you can say that I havent wore a tank top, a v-neck shirt, a dress or a bikini in front of people for about 8 years now.
My experience with accutane up to now:
Ive been on 40 mg once a day for about 23 days now and what i can tell you is that it hasn't been so bad !
Side effects I have are dry face, dry scalp, pain in my chest when I bend down and dry lips. I would say the worse thing is the dry lips. BUT I have an AWESOME lip baume by Uriage which works wonders. I do however need to have it on constantly but its great. I would recommend it to anyone! For my dry face i put hydrating cream by Avène morning and night which make it not so bad either!
For my skin, well i've already seen improvements, no joke ! My chest area is pretty clear i have one or two little pimples and few new pimples on my back. For my face well I would say the second week i was on I was nearly clear but about a week ago i've been having breakouts here and there but i figured that is the normal "breakout" phase.
So this is about it for now I will update my review once in a while !
